No Phil. These settings are OK on my system too, but thanks for the effort.

No Phil,
It's nothing to do with that; because if it were, when Jaws restarted, if
no display were the default, then the braille display still wouldn't, if you
see what I mean.

Hi Roger and Colin,
I would hazard a guess that the default display is "no display".
To check this and to change it to your required display:
1. Press JawsKey+j to bring up the Jaws window.
2. Cursor right once then up twice to land on Braille and press
enter. You should hear two things spoken. The name of the active display
and the name of the default display.
You need to make the default display the one you wish to become active
at start-up. To do this:
1. Cursor down the list until you land on the required default
display.
2. Tab to OK and press enter.
Note. You may need to reboot or restart Jaws to activate the setting.
HTH,
Phil Medway.

Hi Roger and all,
I have a similar probelm, but I get it every time my wife has been on
the PC and switched back to me. Sometimes, the problem is caused by the
fact that the display has gone to sleep through inactivity, but this isn't
always the case. I'm running 6.0 and a Handy Tech Braille Wave. If I
unload and reload Jaws, everything is fine.
In a way, I'm glad it's not just me.
Colin

Subject: [jaws-uk] Starting Jaws with a Braille Display problem
Hi List,
Here's a brain teaser. I wish to start Jaws with a Braille display.
All the correct settings have been selected; the braille display,
automatically start Jaws 6.10 at startup, etc. However, although Jaws speech
starts with no problem, whatever I do, the braille display driver won't
start the braille display, and the only way to get it going is to unload
Jaws, and then re-start it, in which case, the braille comes up fine. And if
I choose the option of Jaws not starting automatically at startup, and then
manually start Jaws, the braille display starts just fine. I am running Xp
home, Jaws 6.10, and there shouldn't be a problem, but there is. I've done
the other obvious things like reinstall selecting the correct components,
and Jaws repair; and each time, the FIRST TIME, the braille display starts,
and I think I've solved the problem. Not a bit, because the next time I
reboot, no braille. Does anyone know where in Jaws the file can be located
that contains the specific instruction to load a braille display, so that I
might edit it. And the other interesting thing is that I have two displays,
a Powerbraille 40, and a Handytech Baum Vario 80, and both behave exactly
the same, so it's not a problem with the actual braille displays; it must be
a problem from within the Jaws Startup. Of-course, it's only a little
problem, and I could start everything manually; it's just that I shouldn't
have to.
Cheers
Roger
